- When I first began researching the Baker and Yarnall families in the early 1980's, I came across the following notation in the Palmer-Trimble Genealogy(1): "The Baker Family claim descent from one Sir Richard Baker, b. 1568 at Sissinghurst, Kent, d. 1645 in the Fleet where he had taken shelter for poverty and where he wrote several historical, poetical, and miscellaneous articles."Although Gilbert Cope called this "questionable," he indicated that Sir Richard's wife was Margaret Mainwaring (2).
- ' According to the History of Chester County (3), John and Mary Baker of Edgmond, Shropshire, England, were the parents of the following children who all settled in Chester County, Pennsylvania in 1682:
- John, d. 3rd mo. (May) 1684\5
- Joseph, b. 1st mo. (March) 1, 1671\72, m. Mary Woodward
- Hannah, b. 1664, d. 1719, m. 8th mo. (Oct.) 4, 1686 Francis Yarnall
- Mary, m. 6th mo. (Aug.) 1686 William Coeburne
- Sarah, m. 5th mo. (July) 1687 Charles Whitacre
- Recently, several fellow Baker researchers corresponding via the Internet have tried to confirm the connection between the Quaker Bakers of Edgmond, Shropshire and the Bakers of Sissinghurst. Thanks primarily to the indefatigable efforts of Edward Coates Sinker of Bosbury, Herefordshire, England, a piece of evidence has come to light which lends credence to the Palmer-Trimble assertion.
- Burke's Landed Gentry (4) provides the following information: "Sir Richard Baker, M.P., of Middle Aston, Oxon [Oxfordshire], and St. Bride's, London, the history (who m. Margaret, dau. of Sir George Mainwaring [sic] of Ightfield, Salop [Shropshire], and d. in Fleet debtors' prison 18 Feb. 1644/5, bur. St. Bride's) son of John Baker, disinherited elder son of Rt Hon. Sir John Baker, of Sissinghurst, Kent (See Burke's Extinct and Dormant Baronetcies, Baker, Bt., of Sissinghurst)."
- Ed Sinker writes "note that Edgmond and Ightfield are only 15 miles apart." (5)
- While the short distance between Ightfield and Edgmond is not proof positive, Burke's information certainly brings the Sissinghurst, Co. Kent Bakers into closer physical proximity of 'John and Mary Baker of Edgmont, Shropshire, whose children settled in Pennsylvania in the 1680's'. The Palmer-Trimble Genealogy indicates that Sir Richard Baker, "The Chronicler," and Margaret Mainwaring had a son Sir John Baker, born in 1598. The name of Sir John's wife has not yet been discovered, but they had at least two sons, 'John Baker, born 1621, died 4th mo. 25 1672 in Edgmond, Shropshire' and Robert Baker (6), who died 6th mo. 1672 in Edgmond, Shropshire.
- ' John Baker married Mary (maiden name unknown) and was the father of John (below), Mary, Hannah who married Francis Yarnall, Sarah, and Joseph Baker all of whom came to Pennsylvania.
- John Baker, the son of 'John and Mary (above)', died 3rd month 1683/84 in Pennsylvania and was the father of Martha, Rebecca, Sarah (who was struck and killed by lightning in 1699, and Dorothy Baker. Dorothy was born 6th mo. 10, 1671 in Edgmond, Shropshire, and died 10th mo. 1, 1743 in Springfield Twp., Chester Co. (now Delaware Co.), PA and in 1694 became the wife of Philip Yarnall, brother of Francis Yarnall who married Dorothy's aunt Hannah Baker.
